Prune juice... Does it work?

[sedm2264]

I have lots of trouble with constitution and the one thing that I've found to work every time is fresh figs. I hope you feel better soon!

prune juice works

My dr said it just causes gas. I take magnesium supplements which help a lot!!! And just plain old bran when needed.

plums really helped me and they taste good! i just ate a plum a day and that got me regular again

this must be an end of pregnancy thing... i have gone from going 2-3 times a day no problem, to constipated too and i think we are due within a couple days of each other.

I drank a whole bottle of prune juice in my first tri as I was constipated so badly. It didn't help, but it did help to relive some wind. The one thing I have found that works to make things move very quickly (takes about 1 day) are oat cakes/biscuits. I don't like the taste of them or the texture, but I add philadelphia or butter, cheese & tomatoes to it for when I need to eat one! I recommend you buy a pack!

will this work after baby is born for your 1st BM? i was wondering cause the hospitals here wont let you go home until they see that you have had a BM; and i was going to use it at home after we got here too to help me out.

they do give you stool softners but it doesnt really work that why im planning on drinking prune juice while im in the hospital too. With my last one it took me 3 weeks to even be able to go to the bathroom.

Well I won't be drinking prune juice again!! It gave me horrendous belly ache!! I was in agony for 2 days, I did eventually go the toilet (8 times) but it wasn't an explosion. It was like rabbit droppings and it hurt! I haven't been since, I'm at my wits end what to do cause I'm eating things that should help bit nothing is

I think it's the huge bottle of gaviscon I'm drinking each week. I really can't wait for this baby to come now, I want my body back lol xx

Have you tried fybogel? Always works for me, even if it takes 2 days.

 

[TamaraM22]
